Photo: Cookies-and-Cream Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the frosting:
- 6 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
For the cake:
- Basic Vanilla Cake, baked and cooled
- 15 chocolate sandwich cookies or other cookies, chopped
Directions
Make the frosting: Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; let cool slightly. Beat the butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until combined. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth.
Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread 1 cup frosting on top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped cookies. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the whole cake with the remaining frosting, then press the remaining cookies into the sides.

Frosting and cake were easy to make but not good. Frosting had way too much butter in it, couldn't even finish a piece. Cake was dry.

The frosting is amazing, tastes like Oreo cream. The cake was very dense but great flavor.

Frosting is great! Cake is awful. Use a box mix and you will be much happier!
